An investor holds a diversified portfolio consisting of a P2,100 investment in each of 10 different common stocks. The portfolio beta is equal to 1.5. You have decided to sell one of your stocks, whose beta is equal to 1, for P2,100 and used the proceeds to buy different P2,100 of stock of a retail company whose beta is 1.2. What will be the new beta of the portfolio? (No rounding off until the final answer)

Mr. Norman and Mr. Foster are both investors looking to buy financial assets. Mr. Norman prefers assets with the lowest prices while Mr. Foster prefers assets on the financial market with higher prices. Each of them currently has GHC 1,000 to invest and needs your assistance to know which asset to buy to suit their preference. The following information provides details of investment options. a. Asset A is a bond with a coupon rate of 10% and pays semi- annual coupons. The par value is GHC 1,000, and the bond has 5 years to maturity. The yield to maturity is 11%. b. Asset B is a stock whose dividend is expected to increase by 20% in one year and by 15% in two years. After that, dividends will increase at a rate of 5% per year indefinitely. The last dividend was GHC 100 and the required return is 20%. Which asset will Mr. Norman and Mr. Foster invest in? In the 2020 accounting year, investors made a number observations in terms of certain decisions some corporations were taking: (1) The…

Your client, Sandra is considering three assets: a bond mutual fund, a cryptocurrency ETF, and US Treasury bills. The annualized T-bill rate is 2%. The information below refers to the two risky assets. Expected return Standard deviation Bond mutual fund Cryptocurrency ETF 3% 10% Correlation coefficient 0 14% 20% (a) What are the proportions of each asset, in Sandra's optimal risky portfolio? (b) Suppose the return for each risky asset follows a normal distribution. What is the 1% value-at-risk for Sandra's optimal risky portfolio? Hint: P(Z<-2.326) = 0.01 where Z~N(0, 1).

1. Suppose there is a mutual fund and each consumer buys | a share in it for her endowment at t = 0. The mutual fund maximises the wealth of its shareholders when choosing IF, the investment in the long term technology. At t =1, the mutual fund pays dividend d to each of its shareholders. At t = 1, the shares can be traded at price p*. a. Set up the mutual fund's optimisation problem and derive and interpret the first order condition. What happens when R increases and why? b. What is the optimal consumption profile cf , c and the optimal investment IF? | c. Calculate (i.e. derive an expression for) d and p. 2. Now suppose there is no financial intermediary to handle liquidity shocks. However, at t = 1 a market for bonds opens up and agents can trade their wealth at t = 1 for | wealth at t 2. Each bond pays 1 at t = 2 and its price is pM. Calculate the consumer's optimal investment decision IM at t = 0 , the price of the bond pM, and the optimal consumption in the two states cM, cM. 3.…
